I don't really have anything to add to this thread, but just add my two cents-- I have asked my Onc, who does do TMs, to not, under any circumstance, let me know what they are...unless there's a reason to worry, I just don't want to know. I've decided that it her job to worry, it is my job to get back to living my life. It cedes a certain amount of control over what is, to my mind, a diagnosis that defies control. If I knew the TM numbers, I would Google myself to distraction and the anxiety would overwhelm me.
Just an alternative approach for those who do TMs.
